Taryn Toomey

For over 25 years, Taryn Toomey has explored the alchemy of body, mind, and spirit, guided by curiosity, creative force, and a belief in both science and Divine magic. A student of life, Taryn engages in an ever-evolving process. Her immersion in diverse modalities, including yoga, psychodynamic therapies, EMDR, sound work, plant medicines, rhythmic breathwork, trauma work, and experiential therapies, has shaped The Class, a music-driven somatic exercise method that regulates the nervous system, releases stuck energy, and opens the heart.

In 2011, Taryn launched The Class as an intuitive exploration of how movement, breath, and sound can unlock the senses as pathways for transformation. Her creative intelligence has shaped every aspect of The Class, extending it far beyond the walls of its New York and Los Angeles studios. Under her guidance, The Class has grown into a global phenomenon with a digital platform connecting students in over 75 countries, travel self-study programs (The Class Retreatment, The Global Immersion, The Class Course, and The Class Workshop), a holistic cleanse program (The Layer), and an intentional crystal fine-jewelry line (The Airelume).
Taryn’s creative direction brings The Class to life through striking videography and photography that capture its raw energy and visceral experience. Her visionary collaborations, including her reimagined lululemon collection and co-creations with Free People, MZ Wallace, and more, have pushed boundaries and inspired new pathways.

Taryn has earned recognition in The New York Times, Vogue, The New Yorker, TIME, Forbes, and Fast Company, and presented her groundbreaking method at Glamour Women of the Year, Fast Company Innovation Festival, In goop Health, and TEDx.
